Yesterday, at the Gradina crossing, customs officers, in collaboration with the police, prevented an unusual attempt to smuggle costly injections hidden in space to accommodate the mobile roof of a car.

The violation was discovered around 8 o’clock in the morning, when a “BMW Cabrio” car with German registration arrived at control at the entrance to the country.

In it was traveling a 40-year-old German citizen of Turkish origin, who “caught the attention” of customs agents because he was in an open car first thing in the morning, although the outside temperature was not at all pleasant.

When asked if there was anything to report, he answered in the negative and there was really nothing in the car except bags with personal luggage.

At the request of customs officials to raise the roof of the car, the passenger resisted, claiming that it was not possible, due to the alleged malfunction of the mechanism.

This only raised additional suspicions, forcing customs officials to grapple with raising the drop top of his car.

It turned out that the suspicion was justified, because when the roof was raised, more than 130 injections of 12 mg “genotropin”, estimated to be worth around 27,000 euros, were found in the cavities for their accommodation.

Due to the obvious intent to smuggle expensive growth hormone injections, the passenger, along with the goods and the car, were turned over to the additional jurisdiction of the police and prosecution.
